Hu Guangting knew that if her father was planning to get married today, she would always feel uneasy.
When the maid came to pass the message, her heart was beating wildly. She quickly calmed down and followed the maid out.
"Grandma, father!" Hu Guangting stepped forward and saluted, his face turned red with embarrassment because he knew he was talking about his marriage.
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at his daughter with a smile. How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world? She was the true legacy of her mother. Unfortunately, her mother died early.
"Ting'er, sit down, your father and your grandmother are talking about important matters for you. But there are some things that I need to ask your opinion on," said the Marquis of Zhenbei.
Hu Guangting sat down. His red lips pursed slightly and he said, "Father, please tell me."
"Father knows that you have always been a good-natured person, so you may not be willing to be a concubine. In fact, this is called a concubine in a commoner family, but in the royal family, it is a concubine. What do you think?" Zhenbei Hou tried to speak more loftily, but it was obvious that he had a concubine.
After the word "concubine", there will be no way to be taller.
Hu Guangting's face turned red. He said softly: "My daughter is willing."
The Marquis of Zhenbei was startled, willing? Her temperament would make her willing to be a concubine?
"Really?" Zhenbei Hou plucked his ears, fearing that he heard wrongly, and asked again.
Hu Guangting raised his head and glanced at him, and said angrily: "Parents make the final decision on marriage matters. How can a daughter have any opinions? As long as the father agrees."
Marquis Zhenbei almost choked on his saliva. He had never seen his daughter look so shy. It seemed that he really liked that boy Lao Wu.
Okay, since you like her, let her go. Since Princess Chu has saved her mother, she is one of her own, a harmonious family.
He smiled and said: "Well, my father will go to the palace tomorrow to restore the emperor's life."
Hu Guangting pinched his handkerchief and felt shy, "Your Majesty... What does your Majesty mean?"
"Of course he can't allow you to take the throne. After all, Princess Chu is pregnant, so he can only make you the concubine of King Chu..."
"What?" Hu Guangting suddenly jumped up, his face changed drastically, "The concubine of the King of Chu?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was stunned, looking at his daughter's shocking face, "What's wrong? Didn't you just agree to be a concubine?"
"When did I agree?" Hu Guangting's face turned red with anger, "When did I say that I would marry the King of Chu as his concubine?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei was confused and looked at the old lady. Could it be that he had a collective hallucination just now?
The old lady pressed his hand and looked at Hu Guangting with a smile, "Then which prince do you like? Tell me, it doesn't matter which one, just ask your father to get it for you."
Hu Guangting almost burst into tears, "You don't know my thoughts, so you go into the palace to ask for some prince for me. Have I said which prince I want to marry?"
"But you said yourself that you want to marry into the royal family." The Marquis of Zhenbei panicked when he saw his daughter acting like this.
Hu Guangting stamped his feet, pinched his handkerchief, bit his lip for a while and said: "I want to marry the emperor."
"What?" This time it was Zhenbeihou's turn to yell, his eyes almost flying out, "Your Majesty?"
"Yes, I want to marry the emperor, even if it means being a concubine, I am willing to do so." Now that Hu Guangting had said it, he had no scruples and said stubbornly.
"No!" Zhenbei Hou was shaking with anger, "Do you know how old the emperor is this year?"
"Younger than you!" Hu Guangting didn't allow him to speak ill of his sweetheart, "and prettier than you."
"You..." Zhenbeihou's beard turned upside down, "What's the use of being younger than me and prettier than me? I'm an old man. He's already forty-six this year. You're only seventeen. He's thirty years older than you.
Year."
"Twenty-nine years!" Hu Guangting corrected.
"At the age of twenty-nine, I am old enough to be your father, and he can be your grandfather." The Marquis of Zhenbei was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. "No, this matter must not be mentioned again."
"I won't marry him but him." Hu Guangting said lightly.
"Marriage is a matter of your parents' order and the matchmaker's advice. You must never make the decision yourself."
"Who said that?" Hu Guangting refused.
"You just said it yourself." Zhenbeihou slapped the table with all his strength, his eyes as big as cowbells, filled with burning flames.
Hu Guangting also slammed the table and widened his eyes, "I never said such nonsense. I have the final say in my own life. I have the final say on who I want to marry, not you. In short, I am not marrying the emperor.
I won’t marry anyone.”
"I'll kill you, you evil beast!" Zhenbei Hou raised his hand and was about to slap him.
Hu Guangting put his face close to her and said, "Look at the beating, hit it accurately. After the beating, I will immediately commit suicide in front of my mother's soul and show my death to you."
"You dare?" Zhenbei Hou put down his hand fiercely, but his tone was weaker.
"Just try and see if I dare!" Hu Guangting revealed his true nature and no longer concealed it.
Zhenbei Hou jumped to his feet, but there was nothing he could do. He had to ask the old lady for help, "Mother, please tell her."
The old lady was stunned for a while, puzzled, "Ting'er, why do you have the idea of marrying the emperor? How come you don't like these young people who are handsome and talented?"
Hu Guangting threw himself into the old lady's arms and cried: "Grandma, just let it go. My granddaughter has never asked you for help in her life. You allowed her to do whatever she wanted for once. She likes him and has been since she was eight years old."
When I met him Nian, I vowed to marry him."
The old lady was dumbfounded, "That's nonsense. What did you know when you were eight years old?"
Hu Guangting cried bitterly, "You know, I didn't understand when I was eight years old, but now I understand, right? I saw him when I entered the palace yesterday. My heart has been beating wildly. I also dreamed of looking at him gently at night.
He smiled at me, I know what this is, I have been thinking about him for nine years, and now I want to marry him when I return to Beijing. Grandma, I will not marry him unless I have him."
The old lady sighed, "Silly granddaughter, you don't want to marry him. You marry him. Even if you enter the palace, you are just one of his concubines. You cannot have him alone."
Hu Guangting was a little confused, "Then if I marry someone else, can I be alone? Grandma, I know that he has many wives and concubines in his harem. I knew it the day I fell in love with him. I have spent nine years convincing myself to accept it. As long as I
I think it's worth it to stay by his side, see him occasionally, and ask him to talk to me."
The old lady sighed, "You will regret it, silly girl. It's better to listen to your grandmother and your father and don't act willfully. This time you will be willful, but for the rest of your life, once you enter that high wall, you will never get out."
Hu Guangting insisted: "If one day I get tired of living like that, I will leave the palace. If he doesn't allow me to go out, I will escape. I am very good at martial arts, so I can escape."
"You think too simplistically." How could the old lady promise? She might as well just marry an ordinary person.
Seeing that he could not convince them, Hu Guangting stood up suddenly and said, "Father, if you don't go into the palace to tell me, then I will go find the emperor myself tomorrow."
"Are you shameless?" Zhenbei Hou was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Hu Guangting said: "My mother said that you shamelessly entangled her in this way before she would marry you. What's the use of having shame? I want to be happy, and I want to be with the person I like."
